Effectiveness of Balance Training and Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization Training in Amateur Athletes with Chronic Ankle Instability

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine and compare the effects of balance and dynamic neuromuscular stabilization training on ankle function ability, functional instability severity, physical activity level, muscle strength, proprioception, stabilization, balance, reaction time and performance of amateur athletes with chronic ankle instability. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Do balance and dynamic neuromuscular stabilization training positively affect functionality, balance, stabilization, proprioception and performance in amateur athletes with chronic ankle sprains?
* Does balance training or dynamic neuromuscular stabilization training have a more positive effect on functionality, balance, stabilization, proprioception and performance in amateur athletes with chronic ankle sprains?

Participants will apply:

* a dynamic neuromuscular stabilization training program consisting of a series of special exercises based on the developmental kinesiology steps of a healthy baby.
* balance training which consist of an effective postural stability program.
* conventional training program which consist of stretching, joint range of motion, strengthening and postural control exercises.

Researchers will compare balance and dynamic neuromuscular stabilization training to see if effectiveness of ankle function ability, functional instability severity, physical activity level, muscle strength, proprioception, stabilization, balance, reaction time and performance.

Conditions

• Ankle Inversion Sprain
• Chronic Instability of Joint
• Chronic Pain
• Athlete Foot

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization Training (DNS)

Dynamic neuromuscular stabilization training has been developed, which optimizes the movement system based on the scientific principles of developmental kinesiology. DNS training aims to stimulate the natural movement control system in the brain to activate the body's stabilization system. Supine, prone, oblique sitting, tripod, high kneeling, hanging stance-midstance faze, hanging stance- propulsion, bear, squat exercises will be applied.

PROCEDURE

Balance Training

Multi-plane single limb challenges, jumping and landing exercises, proprioceptive exercises, and perturbation exercises

PROCEDURE

Conventional Training

Education, electrotherapy, soft tissue fascia massage, stretching, range of motion, strengthening and postural control exercises
